| I guess, I just really don't understand why people Glorify Kurt Cobain so much. I mean, I can understand why they'd say nirvana was cool , because nirvana was rockin, granted. But they never give credit to the two other people in the band. It takes more than one person to make a band. I mean, even for as much as I can't stand Dave Grohl, he was part of nirvana just as much as Kurt Cobain was. and Krist Novoselic for that matter. My point is that I don't think Kurt Cobain was that great. Now my first point, ofcourse, would be that he can't sing. Everyone always responds by saying "yeah, but he puts emotion into his music." Doesn't matter, he's still a shitty singer. Lot's of people put emotion into their songs. But hey, whatever, I guess you you want to feel the emotion of a whiny heroine addict, then listen on you rebellious youngster. People then try another approach with me by saying that his lyrics were so incredible and heart felt. Well, I was watching a documentary a couple of weeks ago on MTV2 about the best voices, and ofcourse, oblivious to talent, Kurt Cobain was like #7 or something. So they go on and on like they usually do about how incredibly talented he is... blah blah blah... the usual. They then get to the point where they talk about how great his lyrics were and they have a sound clip from the last perfomance he did, the Unplugged. I don't know the name of song, but the lyric went... "What can I say everyone is gay" I was immediatly distressed, so I researched, thinking that that couldn't be the best he had written. So I randomly picked out a few songs form www.letssingit.com just to make sure I couldn't do better. and oh there was better. but not that much... "Appreciate your concern You'll always stink and burn" ...ok, still not God-like like everyone makes him out to be, but I guess we're getting better. "with the lights out it's less dangerous here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid, and contagious" That being from the song which probaly made half you fucks like nirvana anyway. I also noticed in sifting through nirvana lyrics that he seems to have trouble with getting away from repeating lines over and over and the AABB rhyme scheme. half the time what did He write about? Depression. What was the depression about? girls... Who was he married to? Courtney Love. That was his problem right there, shouldn't have married her. What esle did he constantly cry about? Being famous. This was his own fault, this also probably being his downfall to his suicide. but... HE DID IT TO HIMSELF He made himself famous. He had to have signed the contract with Geffen Records. FOr those of you who dont' know, Geffen Records is a major label, housing such acts as Blink182, Rob Zombie, Mary J. Blige, Counting Crows, Puddle Of Mudd... the list goes on and on. THe point is, He himself had to physically sign a contract with Geffen, which he had to therefore know that there was that chance that there was a bunch of depressed for no reason whiny teenagers in the midwest that would like to listen to him sob about his own self inflicted problems. So therefore, He should not have been crying about being famous all the time, He signed the contract and sold his soul. Kurt Cobain also had an incredible friendship with Heroine. Logic tells us that doing Heroine makes you happy, for about an hour, so for the other 23 hours your not shooting up you throw yourself into a depressed coma, waiting for the next time that you'll get a needle. I have a hard time understanding how anybody can, or would even want to take example from that. Even Courtney Love, who isn't too bright herself, noticed his redundancy. She was reading the suicide note, where he talks about how he hates what nirvana has become and how he hates being famous and recognized. She immediatly responds by saying " Oh shut the fuck up" as she's crying for someone who just selfishly took his life. For those who are saying "Well you don't know what your talking about at all, your just talking out of your ass" I've looked at many sources, and found nowhere where Kurt Cobain was ever medically diagnosed with any form of depression. And I've looked into all the raving fanclub websites, and I've seen alot of documentaries and TV shows about him. Infact there's a list of the sources below, if you really want to know. So, in conclusion, all Kurt Cobain was to me was a heroine addict who stupidly walked into situations that he wouldnt' want to be in without thinking because he was so high. He was an "OK" writer, and not that good of a musician. Does bad+ok+bad=Godlike like the media and numerous "artistic" teenagers call him? didn't think so. Go ahead and tell me I'm not intellegent and I have no life, and do it anonymously, just like you did on the the whole Brand new thing. whatever. But I hope that this atleast makes you think a little.
